Used to be paperpieceme but one day I just decided enough is enough! Went to Sam's Club and bought a large package of plastic page covers and a large pack of white computer paper and a large looseleaf notebook. Took the articles, recipes, etc. just as they came off of the pile. Used a sheet of computer paper inside each plastic cover so one side didn't show through to the other and just started pasting each article with a glue stick onto the blank computer paper. I included sayings I had kept, whimsical characters I thought I might use some day down the road, ideas that popped into my head as I was doing it, and,yes ,recipes. It took as I remember maybe 3 days, maybe 4 working in the evenings to get it done. I threw a lot of stuff away as I went along as, realistically, I asked myself am I REALLY going to do this, make this, etc. Now I can sit down in the evening and browse through it like a magazine so it stays interesting but I, also, can FIND things with minimal effort. I know some people swear by using folders on their computers but I've had two crash and lost everything so, this works for me but maybe not for all
